Unpacking

Initial inspection should include checking for physical dam-

age during shipping and obvious external damage to the

product.

Package contents are de ned by your packing list. Each

Loader is con gured according to customer speci cations.

In your inspection, make certain that the contents of your

shipment match the documentation provided by your pack-

ing list.

Place unit on a  at, smooth surface and use leveling feet

(supplied) and a bubble level to ensure that the unit is level

side-to-side and back-to-front.

Installation and Equipment Setup

Electrical Connections

The HM-5755 is equipped with an internal digital switching

power supply, which allows it to be used with most power

con gurations throughout the world. The unit is supplied

with an IEC electrical cord with a standard 110V plug.

The HM-5755 arrives ready for operation. Attach the sup-

plied IEC electrical cord to the machine and plug into a

standard wall receptacle for use in the United States. For

locations other than the U.S., replace the supplied electrical

cord with an IEC cord that has the correct plug for your ap-

plication. The supplied cord can also be used by cutting the

standard plug from the cord and attaching the correct plug.

Power Switch

The Power Switch is located on the upper right hand corner

of the back of the machine, above the electrical cord inlet.

The Fuse Compartment is located between the electrical

cord inlet and the Power Switch. The HM-5755 uses a 10

amp fuse. To begin operation, attach the supplied electrical

cord, plug it in and press the Power Switch.

Air Connection

A constant supply of clean, dry air is required for operation. The

air connection is located in the rear of the base cabinet, see photo

below. The air connection is 1/4” (6mm) OD. Insert tubing (supplied)

into the quick-connect until it bottoms out, and make sure the con-

nections are tight.

The inlet air pressure should not exceed 150psi (1000 kpa). Mini-

mum air pressure should be set at least 20psi higher than expected

operating pressure. For a maximum vertical operating load of 10kN

(2000 lb), the pressure required would be 95psi.

See pages 23-24 for more information about air supply accessories

for your HM-5755.

Instrumentation Connections and Setup

HM-5755 Rear Instrumentation Panel

Above is a photo of the rear instrumentation panel of the HM-5755.

Network (1)

Ethernet input for connecting machine to a local area net-

work (LAN) and/or the internet.

USB Power (2)

The USB Power port is used for powering a wireless access

appliance for those who want to use a wireless LAN setup.

Instrument Inputs (3)

The panel features four (4) inputs for connecting instrumentation

to the machine. Each input represents a separate channel, and has

been assigned and calibrated to a speci c instrument for use with

your HM-5755.

Once you have installed the instrumentation into the correct

inputs, your rear panel should look like this:

Below are photos of an instrumentation input and the in-

strumentation plug. Install the plugs into the inputs by lining

up the guide at the bottom of the plug with the slot at the

bottom of the input.

Remember, your HM-5755 Direct/Residual Shear

Machine includes all the necessary instrumentation,

which is already calibrated and assigned to an Input and

will not need calibration, however you should conrm

that the instrumentation has been set up and calibrated,

that you have plugged them into the correct channel,

and that you check with your QC/QA program to set up a

frequency of calibration schedule.

DO NOT RECALIBRATE!

When your HM-5755 is rst turned on, the screen below will

appear.

Navigate to the bottom of this drop-down menu and click

on System Settings (1). You will see the following screen.

From this screen, to conrm your machine instrumentation

has been calibrated, navigate to the Calibration section by

clicking the Menu icon in the top left corner of the screen (1).

When you click on this button, you will see a drop-down menu

appear, see below.

Click on the Calibration tab in the top left corner (2). You will

see the following screen.

Calibration Input Screen

The Calibration Input Screen (above) is used to monitor and

calibrate instrumentation and assign them to specic chan-

nels of the HM-5755. The Calibration Input Screen provides

a summary of the calibration status of each channel. At this

time, verify the calibration information.

A green box at the left of a channel indicates that the chan-

nel has instrumentation assigned to it and that it is calibrat-

ed and ready for use (1).

Initial Set Up — Calibration

QUICK START GUIDE

Calibration Input Screen, cont.

Each channel has a “Limits On” check box (1). Use the Lim-

its On to keep the machine from exceeding the sensor limits

of the instrumentation. By selecting this option, before the

test can exceed the limits of the sensors, all tests will stop

running and the motor will stop to avoid damaging con-

nected instrumentation.

Note: An input cannot be calibrated during testing.

Units (2)

In this eld, a calibrated instrument will display the units

that were chosen for use at the time of calibration. This eld

can also be used to automatically toggle conversion of units

between lb.-in. and SI units if the need arises.

Value (3)

This eld displays the current calibration value. This value

should already be set with 3 decimal point accuracy (1)

below. If the instrument is not calibrated, the unit will read

“N/A.”

For the HM-5755, values for vertical and horizontal loads

will be set at 10.000kN (2000.0 lb), for vertical displace-

ment this value will be set at 10.000mm (0.4000”) and for

horizontal displacement this value will be set at 25.000mm

(1.000”)

Export Calibration via USB (4)

Press this button to select calibrations to export via USB. It

is a good practice to export all your calibrations to a thumb

drive. In case of a problem this practice allows you to recov-

er your calibration data quickly.

Preferences – General Tab

The Preferences panel is comprised of four (4) tabs and

defaults to the General tab, see above.

Logger ID (1)

Each machine that is connected to your network requires

a unique Logger ID. These numbers can be assigned any

number between 1-245. In most cases, if you are setting

up a new machine it has been given the Logger ID 1. This

would show in the Logger ID eld. (1). If this number con-

icts with another machine’s Logger ID, one of the machines

will have to be changed to another Logger ID.

Sound (2)

Checking this box enables or disables audio feedback for

logger events.

Automatically Update System (3)

Checking this box allows the machine to automatically

search for rmware updates when actively connected to the
